Product Description
Author Franz J. Vesely offers students an introductory text on computational physics, providing them with the important basic numerical/computational techniques. His unique text sets itself apart from others by focusing on specific problems of computational physics. The author also provides a selection of modern fields of research. Students will benefit from the appendixes which offer a short description of some properties of computing and machines and outline the technique of 'Fast Fourier Transformation.'

Review from Measurement and Control Volume 37/1 Feb 04 March 9, 2004
....provides a good working knowledge of the techniques used to solve problems in hydrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. To get the most out of the book, the reader should be familiar with vector notation (div, grad and curl), matrix algebra, the theory of ordinary and partial differential equations, and Monte-Carlo simultation techniques. The 2nd edition of Franz Vesely's book includes recent developments in lattice-gas cellular models for hydrodynamics such as the Lattice Boltzmann method. This is an advance on the Frisch, Hasslacher and Pomeau model. The conclusion is that any book attempting to contemporise the field of computational physics will always be worth the expenditure; it not only reaffirms background theory, but also points the way to new ideas and fresh applications.
